BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the EDDIE KAINE and WAVY DA GHAWD interview session! While this MC and producer have been collaborating for years - Christmas Eve 2020 at 12:24 AM found them releasing their first official LP together, “Twelve 24.” This project, however, is different, as both Kaine and Wavy share the same birthday - 12/24 - you as you can imagine it’s pretty personal.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the DR. BUTCHER & CJ MOORE interview session! Normally, this would have been a Twice A Week week. You know, the usual - mix show on Tuesday, all new joints, Meeks and Doe talking trash, and then an interview session to follow on Thursday. However, the universe had something different in mind. These two legends were originally scheduled to be on the mix show t...

This Roxbury, MA native delivered the goods in 2020, and is capping it off on Dec 29 with his THIRD album of the year, “SOUL IT MAY SEEM,” which is produced entirely by production duo SOULSLICERS.

Thankfu...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the BIG FRENCH interview session! Vangardians, this is that behind the scenes ish we live for here at Southern Vangard Radio. This producer, engineer and sound designer has not only been the man behind the curtain for the one and only FLEE LORD and the LORD MOBB movement the past few years, he’s one of the few good men left who have real rap history and the b...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the BUB ROCK interview session! We head to Strong Island this week to build with a man whose name is being mentioned in some pretty heavy circles as of late, including Hempstead’s own ROC MARCIANO. This October, Bub dropped an LP on his birthday like he normally does, called “A PEACE OF MINE”, which in our opinion is a serious AOTY contender - yeah we said it...

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep271: COVID-19 Edition 50! We’re rolling into the end of the year Vangardians, can you believe it?

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the JAH-MONTE interview session! This Queen City MC has been toiling away in the underground for a number of years, yet has only now begun to receive national and global acclaim after a rebrand of sorts. A name change from KING CALLIS and few tweaks to the content and overall approach has made all the difference in the world, as 2019 and 2020 have been very g...

We head to the Midwest this week, specifically OKC, to catch up with damn near a renaissance man, as Jabee has his hands dipped in just about everything - from music to venues to food to activism - the list goes on.
